Description
Welcome to the first episode of Pantry Chat! Josh and Carolyn have taken their popular YouTube series and turned it into a podcast so you can get all your homesteading tips on the go.
If you’re new to the Homesteading Family, welcome!
Josh and Carolyn were living the “normal” life, pursuing their careers and doing the daily commute in Los Angeles, while living in a tiny apartment with only a couple small herb gardens and some tomato plants. It didn’t take long for them to realize that they wanted a better life and more sustainability for their family after the birth of their first child.
But they didn’t just make the move from the city to 40 acres in Idaho overnight. It was a process that took time for them to refine their homesteading skills and prepare them for each new season of their journey.
How did they do it and what are the things you need to consider when looking at making the shift to a homesteading lifestyle?
In this episode:
- Josh and Carolyn talk about why they made the move from the city to the country 18 years ago.
- How they honed their homesteading skills in the early years.
- How to fill up the space you have now and be resourceful before moving on to something bigger.
- How to be strategic, ask the right questions and make the right decisions when starting to grow your own food.
- What is clabbered milk and how can you reuse the cultures to speed up your process.
